Knead the flour, egg, salt and water into a firm dough for 8 minutes.
Rest the dough for 20 minutes so the gluten relaxes and the squares do not tear while rolling.
Divide the ground beef filling among small squares and close the yuksuk dumplings tightly.
Saute the butter and tomato paste in a pot for 2 minutes, then add the chickpeas and hot water.
Add the dumplings to the soup and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes.
Serve hot with dried mint and lemon, portioning the dumplings into bowls without crushing them.
💡 Tip: Keeping the dough pieces small makes the soup feel more balanced on the spoon.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Ladle the yuksuk soup into a deep bowl and show the chickpeas and dough pieces on the minty surface.
